Farm animals are cute, and they also play an important role in modern
society. Take some time to appreciate them this World Farm Animals Day. Created
in memory of Ghandi, who believed in treating all living beings with respect, World Farm Animals Day was founded to
highlight the poor conditions suffered by some farm animals, and promote
awareness in the hope something may be done to improve their lives.

While World Farm Animals Day has an important, and sad, origin, in the
sense it was created to raise awareness of suffering, it can be celebrated in
different ways with children. Taking children for a visit to a farm is a great
way to teach them about farm animals, and it’s a good chance to instil in them
the message of treating animals with respect. Another great way to celebrate is
by donating to an animal protection charity of your choice.

Let’s remember
how much we rely on our farm animals for food, remember to treat them with
respect and give them good lives, and be worthy of the gift of sustenance they
provide.

About Me

I am a writer, emerging artist, quiltmaker and public speaker. My current art installation is a work in progress, titled "1000 Flowers for the Planet". Every day, for 1000 days, I will blog one flower with a positive suggestion for how we can improve the planet - environmental, social, moral and ethical ideas. Please join me on this journey, send me your ideas for further suggestions and feel free to comment. If everyone took up only 1% of the ideas (i.e. 10 new actions), imagine the shift in the world!!
